They left the ship and assumed standard urban combat positions, taking advantage of any and all cover while moving forward. It wasn't long before Republic soldiers began their counter attack on Aranos' squad, and the fighting was bloody. Aranos slew several of the Republic scum with his lightsaber but soon became bored with the tedious sniping between the two groups and began to make his own way towards the command centre, secure in the knowledge that the Jedi and command staff would surely be there. He secretly hoped that another of the three apprentices would be there, or even better: both of them. Aranos did not intend Malus to have so many aprentices when he left Mygeeto...

"Good and evil are but points of view. Many would call me evil for the things I have done, but to myself and to my followers, I am the saviour of the galaxy. I have not shirked from my duty because it is unpleasant or because others will disapprove. I regret the deaths I have caused on this path, but they were necessary to prevent far greater evil. So, Jedi, who are you to say what I do is wrong?"

Arken comanded the Imperial Troopers to slaughter the New Republic Troopers in every ways possible.He then sensed something.

Hmm,Aranos is headed to the command centre.Well,i'll pay him a little visit,thought Arken.His thoughts were a bit slippery,but he knew what to do.Many barriers stood in his path but he easily jumped and destryoed the generators,allowing the Imperial Troopers to move on to kill the New Republic Troopers.

"Very good soldiers.Keep this up and i may mention this to Lord Malus.Oh and,don't cover me,i'm bored and angry." said Arken.He was always on a bad mood and noone would like to know how he was when he was reallt angry.Many New Republic soldiers got in his way but he blocked their shots and cut them in pieces with his lightsaber.

Aranos finally reached the door to the command centre. The pitiful guards posted there where no match for him. He brung up his lightsaber and was about to cut the door open, but thought better of it. Aranos deactivated his lightsaber and clipped it to his belt before using an almighty force push to blow the door off of its hinges and to send it flying into a Republic terminal. He then strode through the door, black cape blowing in the wind and spoke to the Republic command staff:

"Resist, and you will die. Surrender, and you will die anyway." He then brought up his hands in front of him and sent force lightning arcing out towards them.

"Good and evil are but points of view. Many would call me evil for the things I have done, but to myself and to my followers, I am the saviour of the galaxy. I have not shirked from my duty because it is unpleasant or because others will disapprove. I regret the deaths I have caused on this path, but they were necessary to prevent far greater evil. So, Jedi, who are you to say what I do is wrong?"

Malus prepared to find the leaders. They had to somewhere on Mygeeto. Otherwise Malus wouldn't be here. Several more New Republic Troops tried to kill Malus, but he put an end to their lives by throwing his Lightsaber at them. He continued on looking for the leaders.

The few survivors of Aranos' lightning were quickly finished by his lightsaber. Aranos walked over to the main command terminal and set about hacking into it. He then got out his comlink and contacted Malus:
"My Lord, the Republic command centre has fallen. Unfortunately, the Jedi scum and the Republic leader were not here. Fortunately for us, however, they were unable to get off a distress call so no one else is aware of this. I am quite sure that I can turn their computers against them and take command of the enemy, I will send them orders that will disadvantage them and put them into disarray. I think this battle is going to become interesting..."

"Good and evil are but points of view. Many would call me evil for the things I have done, but to myself and to my followers, I am the saviour of the galaxy. I have not shirked from my duty because it is unpleasant or because others will disapprove. I regret the deaths I have caused on this path, but they were necessary to prevent far greater evil. So, Jedi, who are you to say what I do is wrong?"

"Oh very interesting." said Arken,just appearing."Also,interesting will be your death!" After saying that he ignited his lightsaber,red as the blood of the innocent people he killed.
"It's time to die Aranos." said Arken.

Aranos threw back his head and roared with laughter.
"Arken, Arken... You really think that you could defeat me don't you? I assure you that you are very much mistaken."
He then stood up from the chair he occupied and turned to face Arken.
"For example, you have already lost your first chance to kill me. For myself, if our roles were reversed, it would have been a simple matter to hide myself in the Force and kill you before you knew I was there. However, the way that you have done it, I now have the chance to fight back." Aranos drew and ignited his own crimson lightsaber, which illuminated the command centre with an eerie glow.
"And now, Arken, you shall die."

"Good and evil are but points of view. Many would call me evil for the things I have done, but to myself and to my followers, I am the saviour of the galaxy. I have not shirked from my duty because it is unpleasant or because others will disapprove. I regret the deaths I have caused on this path, but they were necessary to prevent far greater evil. So, Jedi, who are you to say what I do is wrong?"

"We'll see about that.And i didn't kill you by behind because i wanted you to see your killer!" shouted Arken as he ran to Aranos.He annoyed him and he wanted very much to kill him.He swung his lightsaber to Aranos' abdomen but he blocked.Then he imediatly blasted Aranos with a Lightning Bolt,knocking him over.

"Very good Nordar," Malus said through his Comlink, "I shall see to it personally."
Malus ran through the battlefield of Mygeeto, killing New Republic Troops on the way. Soon he noticed Arken and Aranos fighting. Nordar was right.
"Stop fighting!" He shouted, "We've got bigger things to worry about. You can fight over your lives for me later!"

Malus snatched the nervous New Republic Trooper and snarled at him.
"Where are your leaders?" He asked.
"I... I don't know." The New Republic Trooper squealed.
"Tell me and I shall spare your life." Malus told him.
"In Hangar 18 at the end of this platform," The New Republic Trooper squealed, "It's all I know I swear."
"Good," Malus said, "Prepare to die."
Malus ignited his Lightsaber and left the man dead.

((Hey, I'm not trying to be nasty, but could we PLEASE have some more detailed posts? I mean: 'Nordar jumped up slashing 3 troopers and stabbing 1.' That does nothing to advance the story.))

Aranos turned back to the control panel and sat down again. Although from an outsider's point of view it might appear that he had just come off worst, in fact that little fall he had taken would only serve to give him an even bigger advantage later...

With a little smile to himself, Aranos began the most direct way of finding the Jedi leader: he asked him where he was using the captured command centre.

"Master Jedi, sir. We appear to have lost your squadron's indicator from the tactical display, could you please inform us of your location so that we may correct the problem?"

"Good and evil are but points of view. Many would call me evil for the things I have done, but to myself and to my followers, I am the saviour of the galaxy. I have not shirked from my duty because it is unpleasant or because others will disapprove. I regret the deaths I have caused on this path, but they were necessary to prevent far greater evil. So, Jedi, who are you to say what I do is wrong?"

"You underestimate the resolve of these soldiers, it could well be that he gave you false information, Arken." Aranos stood and followed Arken. "But I shall go with you anyway. After all, I don't want you to get all of the glory, now do I?"

"Good and evil are but points of view. Many would call me evil for the things I have done, but to myself and to my followers, I am the saviour of the galaxy. I have not shirked from my duty because it is unpleasant or because others will disapprove. I regret the deaths I have caused on this path, but they were necessary to prevent far greater evil. So, Jedi, who are you to say what I do is wrong?"

As the two Sith reached hangar 18, Aranos motioned Arken on towards the hangar and with a friendly, almost respectful tone said, "After you, Arken, I wouldn't want to get in your way and you were the one who discovered that they were here and then told me."

"Good and evil are but points of view. Many would call me evil for the things I have done, but to myself and to my followers, I am the saviour of the galaxy. I have not shirked from my duty because it is unpleasant or because others will disapprove. I regret the deaths I have caused on this path, but they were necessary to prevent far greater evil. So, Jedi, who are you to say what I do is wrong?"

A large group of New Republic Troopers surrounded Malus, just as he finished talking to Optimos. The group was around one hundred Troops. They started to shoot at Malus, which he managed to block several shots, but even as the Sith Lord, he wouldn't be able to beat them all. Instead, Malus quickly cut a hole through the floor and was falling through the clouds, but luckily he landed on Optimos' abandoned Air Speeder. Malus quickly used it to get back onto the Facility.
